1:55 PM 30 years ago, one sunny December the manager (Tom Barwick) asked me to clean the paint of those windows in the bulk section. It was still fall related colors. I tried with a razor and would have taken me weeks to do it. But then i brought some warm water to clean the peeled paint from the glass and... voila! any paint touched with warm water would peel away like it was not there and then i finished in a few hours. From all the people there i believe Liviu Gorea (probably Dragnea), my colleague could confirm.

A few days later after i moved to Vancouver, hoping to get a job at Kyocera (which i finally did, 5 years later) my car broke and Tom fired me over the phone (i missed one or two days before that). I also missed the interview at AVX near the apartment because Tom would not give me a few hours off, so here i was, freshly moved in an apartment in Vancouver, without a job.

Had no idea Nelu Ciorbă, a tech who promised me a job there, was Viktor Orban.

Back at Sheridan. The interesting part about that place was the building behind it, at Oak and 3rd. While i was working there somebody told me in that building was the Satanic Church of Portland.

There was this guy who once came at the store and stood in front of me while i was kneeling to arrange cans on some shelves. All dressed in black, with a goatee and walking like a goat (pretty much like in this very moment someone is hitting the floor upstairs). His woman next to me could have been her, Zeena, white bleach hair, also dressed in black.

I saw then many times punching a keypad at the door visible from behind the store where sometimes i was doing chores like breaking boxes or counting empty cans. It is true, Liviu told me once they were drug addicts and prostitutes. 

2:35 Saturday i fixed the leak at the gasket by adding RTV at the leaking point. Drove the car 170 miles to Lincoln City and back and did not leak. Yesterday night after i started to work at the headlight and ran out of battery for my solder iron though i let it charge all night before after i charged it again i found the hood cracked in the first position after i fixed the headlight, after at least one hour.

Don't know if i left it myself. Today the gasket is leaking again. I'm going to NAPA to buy a different RTV than the one i got online which hardened very soft.

4:30 Went to O Reilly's (what does it have to be so hard to write) to buy a new tube, and this time i read the instructions. It says to put the parts together, let it dry for an hour and then torque. On the other tube it said to let it form a skin, for 10-18 minutes and then torque. Haven't done either way.

But i think i'm done for tonight. I hate to work at flashlight light. It is more... head turning?
